Kindle Unlimited Can Be Canceled Via Amazon’s Website
In the past, a Kindle Unlimited subscription could be canceled through the Amazon app or Kindle app. However, this option is no longer available. The ability to cancel or manage the subscription has been removed from mobile apps, so it must now be done via Amazon’s website using a web browser.

As already established, the only way to cancel a Kindle Unlimited subscription is through Amazon’s website. Here’s how to go about it below:

What Happens To Book After Canceling Kindle Unlimited?
When you cancel your subscription, any books you download through the service will be removed from your library after your next billing date. However, any other titles you purchased through Kindle will remain in your library, including books bought with a Kindle Unlimited account. Please note that Amazon does not provide a partial refund if you cancel your subscription before the next billing date.
What To Do If Your Subscription/Membership Is Still Active After Canceling
One challenge faced by subscribers who cancel their Kindle Unlimited subscriptions is that it may still be active even after doing so. If you encounter this situation, the best course of action is to contact Amazon’s customer support immediately and provide them with your account details to resolve the issue promptly.
There are several causes of cancellation issues, but the common ones are technical errors and unresolved previous payments.
A technical error could be responsible for your subscription remaining active after cancellation. For instance, if you see an error during the cancellation process, wait, then check your browser’s cache and cookies, and clear them before trying again. It is also advisable to log into your Amazon account from another device.
A pending payment could be another reason your subscription refuses to cancel. To solve the problem, start by checking if all your previous subscription payments have been processed successfully. If that’s not the case, switch to another payment method and try canceling the subscription again after making the payment.
